Just an fyi to shammies, keep this after you get it. It's 50% better then an epic that costs 15 heroic instance badges.

As of right now, the totem actually only reduces the mana cost by 13 points, I noticed it while comparing it just out of curiosity. I opened up a GM ticket about it and the GM told me that it was a known issue and that they were working on fixing it.

An interesting note about this Totem. If you fire Rank 1 Lightning Bolts with this, they cost zero mana.

This might be a very useful thing to know once the Crit-Clearcasting boost goes into effect with the 2.0.10 patch.

This totem is now even more helpful!

For many this will be the first totem you can find for your shaman, and with the addition of Maelstrom Weapon, it helps any aspiring shaman out a great deal. Also, as of 3.0.2, this totem will allow you to keep your quested "tool" totems in your bank, while still letting you summon your own helpful totems. Four free bag slots and a very helpful effect for all!

Does the totem of lightning have to be equipped to free up the 4 slots or does it just have to be in the inventory?

I might test it now to see, but honestly since all totems that go in the relic slot have this effect its pretty much a mute point. Why would anyone leave their relic slot open and keep one in their bag?

This totem has been upgraded with patch 4.0.1. All previous relics, totems, idols and librams now are simply stat pieces and no longer modify a spell or ability.

Totem of the Storm is a decent piece, especially if it's listed for a low price on the AH. But now that's its simply a "stat stick" for lack of a better term, they are pretty comparable and usable by any spec.
